I haven\u2019t done a book review in a long time and I really loved this book called \u201cAncient Egypt<\/a>\u201d by Campbell Price. This book is part of the Pocket Museum book series by Thames & Hudson!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was at the MET in September, I of course had to stop at the gift shop and look at the books! This was a new book, and I of course gravitated towards it because my absolute favorite statue (White Limestone Statue of Hatshepsut) was on the cover! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the book are short descriptions and pictures of over 200 of the most significant ancient Egyptian artifacts from museums across the world. This was so fun to go through because while I have been to the MET, British Museum, Louvre, Vatican, Petrie and Brooklyn Museums, it was truly wonderful to see objects from museums I have not been to! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like how the book is set up with each page having a clear picture of the object and a short description of it. I feel like this setup makes the book accessible to people of most age groups (probably 10+ if your kid is a strong reader) and different reading levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also like how the objects are divided up chronologically because it allows the reader to see the transformation of Egyptian art through time. Each time period is also given a brief yet informative introduction, and there is a handy glossary at the back for those who are just starting their journey into studying Egyptian art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a book that I would 100% recommend! I really loved it, and it is one I will continue to look back to for reference and for fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
